Title: Patience: Part of The Poems of the Pearl Manuscript in Modern English Prose Translation

Author: Malcolm Andrew, Ronald Waldron

Narrator: Joshua Lambie, Sarah Peverley

Format: Unabridged

Length: 00:36:33

Language: English

Release date: 04-12-19

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: History, Fiction & Literature, Europe, Literary Criticism

Summary:

'Patience' is the third of the four poems of the Pearl manuscript, a fourteenth century work contemporaneous with Chaucer, Langland and Gower, and acknowledged as a minor masterpiece in its own right.

The poets usage of the word patience reflects two broad senses: that of accepting misfortune and submitting to physical or mental suffering, and that of waiting, holding back, and exercising moderation and self-control. In the opening section of the poem the poet offers a lengthy discussion of the nature of patience, which serves to introduce the central Old Testament story of Jonah, told as a negative exemplum of patience. It concludes with a brief passage summarising its essential message.

The recounting of the story of Jonah is lively, vigorous, by turns serious, terrifying and comic, in which human emotions are not only specified but explored. The relationship between Jonah and God is described throughout, contrasting the justice and mercy which inform Gods actions with the unstable, and often selfish and irrational, conduct of Jonah.

The near-literal prose translation is designed to facilitate understanding, and is faithfully based on Andrew and Waldrons fifth edition of The Poems of the Pearl Manuscript. This audio edition, expertly narrated by Professor Sarah Peverley, includes the unaltered introduction to Poems of the Pearl Manuscript in Modern English Prose Translation, and 'Patience' itself.

Title: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: Part of The Poems of the Pearl Manuscript in Modern English Prose Translation

Summary:

'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight' is perhaps the best-known Arthurian romance in the English language, praised by Tolkien as the best conceived and shaped narrative poem of the fourteenth century, indeed of the Middle Ages, in English.

Its story is well-known: New Year celebrations at Camelot are disrupted by the fearsome and strange appearance of the Green Knight who challenges Arthur's court to a game consisting of an exchange of blows; the Green Knights survival of the beheading that ensues locks Sir Gawain into a commitment to receive a return blow a year later, bound by his honour to fulfil the terms of the game. After an arduous journey to seek his nemesis Gawain arrives at a magnificent castle where his jovial and welcoming host has a disconcertingly beautiful wife. Persuaded to rest before continuing on his quest to find the Green Knight, he is tempted three times by the lady who attempts to seduce him. His eventual minor fall from grace is forgiven by the lord of the castle who is revealed as the Green Knight; Gawain returns to Camelot in shame and failure, where the court contends that Gawain has succeeded triumphantly.

The near-literal prose translation is designed to facilitate understanding, and is faithfully based on Andrew and Waldrons fifth edition of The Poems of the Pearl Manuscript. This audio edition, expertly read by Professor Sarah Peverley, includes the unaltered introduction to Poems of the Pearl Manuscript in Modern English Prose Translation, and 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight' itself.

Summary:

Lovely pearl, which it pleases a prince to set radiantly in gold so bright.Alas! I lost her in a garden; through the grass to the ground it slipped from me. I languish, grievously wounded by the power of my love for that spotless pearl of mine.

'Pearl' is the first of the four poems of the Pearl manuscript, a fourteenth century work contemporaneous with Chaucer, Langland and Gower. It is widely acknowledged as a masterpiece of medieval English literature. In the poem the grief-stricken protagonist describes the loss of a precious pearl in a garden. He falls asleep and in his dream sees a vision of a beautiful Maiden , who through complex imagery is gradually revealed as the pearl, a lost loved one, often interpreted as the Dreamers young daughter, though never explicitly identified. The Dreamer questions the Maiden and receives instruction in Christian doctrine and morality with a remarkable degree of dramatic intensity, psychological insight, and human sympathy. The Dreamer awakes with his initial anguish extinguished, resigned, but with a new recognition of the comfort offered by his faith.

Title: Cleanness: Part of The Poems of the Pearl Manuscript in Modern English Prose Translation

Author: Malcolm Andrew, Ronald Waldron

Narrator: Joshua Lambie, Sarah Peverley

Format: Unabridged

Length: 02:09:34

Language: English

Release date: 04-12-19

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: History, Fiction & Literature, Europe, Literary Criticism

Summary:

'Cleanness' is the second of the four poems of the Pearl manuscript, a fourteenth century work contemporaneous with Chaucer, Langland and Gower. Cleanness tells several stories, all related by themethe disastrous consequences of uncleanness, and the good fortune to be had by being clean.

The poet carefully constructs a complex accumulation of stories and examples, whose main source is the Old Testament. The three major stories are the Flood, then Sodom and Gomorrah, followed by Belshazzars Feast. All examples encourage the reader to pursue cleanness (both purity in a moral sense and in a practical sense hygiene and etiquette) through a negative exemplum, which describes the evil conduct of the unclean and the punishment they suffer. God appears periodically as lord of a court, or princea humanized God who explains his motives and expresses his feelings; this contrasts with the graphic accounts of divine retribution as a consequence of his overwhelming wrath at mans failings.

The near-literal prose translation is designed to facilitate understanding, and is faithfully based on Andrew and Waldrons fifth edition of The Poems of the Pearl Manuscript.

This audio edition, expertly read by Professor Sarah Peverley, includes the unaltered introduction to Poems of the Pearl Manuscript in Modern English Prose Translation, and Cleanness itself.
